Well, they finally did it. My Lee Morgan box was canceled outright this morning. No opportunity for delay approval, nothing.
Yeah I had a feeling they were going to get severely allocated on this from Blue Note and wind up cancelling a bunch of orders they got. Sucks guys, sorry to hear it.
Yep. I did one small order on this sale (and even then half of my Tone Poet preorders got cancelled) but I didn’t bother with the Lee Morgan set after the whole Neil Young Archives fiasco.
Why throw the baby out with the bath water? You’re out nothing if they cancel. I’ve gotten probably 2 dozen+ Tone Poets/BN80/Verve AS series records for 2/3 of the already discounted prices. TP/Verve come out to about $18 and the BN80 to about $14
this is why i think i'm giving up on all pre-orders, so many delays now unless its a killer deal i'll just wait for releases.
I agree—I personally draw the line at stuff that I know is going to be hard to find or very limited because they haven’t come through and I don’t want to miss out... but I’ll keep doing single LPs and stuff like that for sure. Now they just need to have another sale that includes music!
Yep, must have stuff I preorder elsewhere along with Target buy 2 get 1. If Target cancels, it’s almost always before street date
This is the right mindset. If it doesn't work, it's ok, get it somewhere else. If it works, boy howdy, you've saved yourself a lot of money.
I just received a shipping confirmation on the Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends 6xLP box that some of us pre-ordered in Target's sale from last October, I think.
I canceled mine 3 days ago, fearing I had little time remaining to do so. I pre-ordered as a placeholder not sure if I actually wanted it. I still haven't researched it yet, so if I can nab it next (jeez, I hope) sale, that's cool with me. To be frank, I pre-ordered it during the Lee Morgan Lighthouse box pre-order high (which was subsequently canceled by Target), and I wasn't overly clamoring for the Oscar box.
Sadly I don’t know that the Target music sale will be back. I really hope they bring it back but they have had a few B2G1 sales lately and none included music.
With vinyl sales smokin hot right now, and pressing plants struggling to keep up, I can imagine the big retailers don't see much incentive for broad-based major price reductions right now. Please note that I'd love to be wrong about this.
It's certainly why Acoustic Sounds, Music Direct, and Elusive Disc ended their standing 10% off sales.
Plus almost weekly Target has their own Exclusive Vinyl that seems to sell well , this week is the new Prince album , i was hoping there would be a sale But it is on sale for a few Dollars off .
If you’re a Target Circle member you can occasionally get some solid coupons. Target Red card also gets you 5% off and free shipping I believe.
not a sale, Fleetwood Mac LP Rumours (gold vinyl) $22.99 Fleetwood Mac - Rumours (Target Exclusive, Vinyl) (Gold Colored)
